Does the Ring app update automatically?

Answered by Jason Smith

The Ring app does update automatically. When you first set up a Ring device, whether it’s a doorbell, camera, or other device, it will automatically check for any available updates and apply them during the initial setup process. This ensures that you have the latest firmware and features for your device.

After the initial setup, the Ring app will continue to update itself as needed. These updates typically occur during off-peak hours, when there is less demand on the Ring servers. By updating during these times, it helps to minimize any disruption or inconvenience to users.

It’s important to note that when a Ring device is updating, it may not be available for use. This is particularly true for battery-powered devices such as the Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Stick Up Cam Battery. During the update process, the device will be temporarily offline and unable to capture video or perform other functions. However, once the update is complete, the device will automatically reconnect to the Ring app and resume normal operation.

Personally, I have experienced these automatic updates with my own Ring devices. I found it convenient that I didn’t have to manually check for updates or worry about keeping my devices up to date. The automatic updates ensure that I always have the latest features and improvements without any extra effort on my part.
